Bartholomew County Health Department offering vaccine clinics

The Bartholomew County Health Department will be offering a vaccine clinic later this month to help you prevent whooping cough and tetanus.

They urge you to protect yourself, your kids and others in the community with the simple vaccine.

The health department will be hosting TDAP clinics on Sept. 25th and Sept. 30 at their offices on Foxpointe Drive. Those wllb e from 8:30 a.m. to 4 in the afternoon.

You can call 812-379-1555 to get more information or to schedule an appointment.
